Last Updated Jan 26, 2018 1:08 PM ESTThe first time she ran for president in 2008, Hillary Clinton chose toshield her faith adviser on the campaign who was accused of sexuallyharassing a subordinate, according to the New York Times, citing fourpeople familiar with what took place.

Instead of firing the adviser, Burns Strider, as her campaign managerrecommended, Clinton docked his pay for a few weeks, ordered him to goto counseling, and moved the young woman accusing him into a differentposition, according to the report. Strider went on to co-found theAmerican Values Network, a faith organization, then five years later, hejoined Correct the Record, a super PAC run by Clinton friend David Brockthat supported Clinton's 2016 presidential run. Within months, Striderwas fired from Correct the Record over a handful of issues, includingaccusations of harassing against a young aide, three people told the Times.

During the campaign, Strider described himself as Clinton's "faithguru," sending her scripture passages each morning.

The 2008 complaint was made by a 30-year-old aide who shared an officewith Strider, the Times reported. The woman told a campaign officialthat Strider, who was married at the time, had inappropriately rubbedher shoulders, kissed her forehead and sent suggestive emails, accordingto the report.

When Clinton was told of the accusations, and her campaign manager PattiSolis Doyle advised that she fire him, Clinton said she did not want toand kept him on the campaign, the Times reported. Other members of thecampaign were concerned she allowed him to stay, according to the report.

According to the report, the young woman accusing Strider had signed anon-disclosure form as a part of her work on the campaign, and declinedto comment.

Why do you snip out my point, then ask 'why' ?Hillary protected another sex abuser!Frigging hypocrites!!

First off, there is debate whether Hillary had the authority to fire theguy.-------To ensure a safe working environment, the campaign had a process toaddress complaints of misconduct or harassment, read the statement fromUtrecht, Kleinfeld, Fiori, Partners.

When matters arose, they were reviewed in accordance with thesepolicies, and appropriate action was taken. This complaint was noexception.

Second, he was required to undergo mandatory counciling. At the time,there was no zero-tolerance policy. Hillary did in fact address thevictim's concerns by giving her a different place in the organization.

Do note that Strider was Spiritual counsel, whose duties included sendingout a daily scripture reading. Seems one can't trust religious people ofANY persuasion or political party.
